Overview & Objectives:  The Academic Writing Workshop for the ACE program aims to equip students with the theoretical and practical competence necessary to produce formal academic writing in a business context, which is clear and well-organized, concise, as well as grammatically and orthographically accurate. This competence is developed by engaging in activities which enable students to produce the kind of writing to complete a final research paper, allowing students to critically analyze a publicly traded company, drawing on students' own knowledge of business studies, as well as concepts discussed in class. 

 Activities are often interactive and  include in-class discussion of readings and exercises, as well as engaging with the research process to complete a team analysis report, per research guidelines presented during the first lesson. Students will also participate in a small group to present an oral recap of a current business news story and draw comparisons with business concepts to explain the why and how of said news story. This activity contributes to honing oral and vocabulary skills. Please refer to the syllabus for a full description.
